About the Item

Erik Gunnar Asplund Göteborg 1 Chair For Cassina The Göteborg solid wood design chair is the conceptual representation of Rationalism by the Swedish architect who designed the furnishings for the Gothenburg Town Hall. The rounded slightly convex curves are reminiscent of the stylistic features of the Bauhaus school. This chair also echoes a tribute to the legendary Thonet chair No. 14, among the early examples of design furniture on an industrial scale. PADDING Cold processed polyurethane foam. LEGS Solid ash. UPHOLSTERY Fabric or leather. The Göteborg chair is Erik Gunnar Asplund’s poetic interpretation of Rationalist ideas. The chair was commissioned for the extension of the Town Hall in Göteborg, Sweden, whose warm, wood-panelled rooms are evoked in its ashwood frame. The curved and slightly convex profile recalls Bauhaus designs. In this case, though, Asplund keeps the back and legs the same width. We also see an homage to the historic Thonet No. 14 chair, one of the early examples of industrially manufactured furniture.

About the Designer: Born in Stockholm, Erik Gunnar Asplund occupies a central position in the development of Scandinavian architecture and design of the twentieth century. He is considered the archetype of the generation that gave rise to the maturing process of the above estates, subsequently developed by such figures as Alvar Aalto, Erik Bryggman, Arne Jacobsen, Jørn Utzon. After graduating as an architect in 1909, many trips to Europe and the United States punctuated his apprenticeship. His works from the years 1911 to 1930, influenced by a strong romantic tradition, express a neoclassical language, founded on vernacular cultural bases. However, it was in 1930, the year of the Stockholm Exhibition, that Asplund managed to go beyond the rigid and stereometric language of the early years of rationalism very clearly by anticipating in a very personal way the trends of the Modern Movement. His most remarkable works of architecture are: the Chapelle du Bois (1918-20); the Skandia Cinema, Stockholm (1922-23); the Municipal Library, Stockholm (1921-28); the expansion of the Town Hall, Gothenburg (1916-37); the Brendenberg stores, Stockholm (1933-35); the Bacteriological Laboratory (1932-37); his country house in Stennäs (1937); the Crematorium and the southern part of the Stockholm Cemetery: the pinnacle of all his experience. In terms of decoration and design his most notable works are: the study of popular housing for the exhibition of the Swedish Society of "Arts and Crafts" (1917); interior design for the "Art and Industry" association, Stockholm (1920); the decoration and furniture of the City Hall, Stockholm (1921); some furniture dating back to 1931, such as the famous judge's chair and the furnishings of the Lister Sölvesborg courthouse; the decoration of the Swedish pavilion at the Paris Exposition (1925); decoration and objects created for the Stockholm Municipal Library (1920-28); the Council Room at the Headquarters of the Arts and Crafts Association (1931); decoration for the Palace of Justice and for the Town Hall, Gothenburg (1916-37).

By Vico Magistretti, Cassina

Located in Barcelona, Barcelona

Armchair model 905 designed by Vico Magistretti in 1964. Manufactured by Cassina in Italy. A modern chair with a cultural heritage, expression of the creative genius of Vico Magistretti who designed it in 1964. 905 is an elegant chair made of solid wood and cowhide, where design translates to practical simplicity. Produced by Cassina until 2000, this chair has now been relaunched, the finishes and details having been updated from the original archive model. The sophisticated elegance of the frame, which features cylindrical legs and curved arm-rests, has been rejuvenated thanks to Cassina’s extensive experience in handling leather, not to mention the company’s high quality carpentry skills. The complex nature of this piece is expressed in a design that looks simple but fully reflects the genius quality of the original concept, a veritable masterpiece of the crafts tradition proper to Meda, in the Brianza area north of Milan, the trademark registered by Cassina and a guarantee of utmost quality. The frame, in finest quality wood, bespeaks the perfect combination of the artisanal tradition and premier CNC technology, while the overall design stands out for the self-supporting seat crafted from one single piece of saddle leather, curved and slotted into the frame. The decorative stitching has been discontinued, while the rear of the chair still features the leather belt that lends support to the back and enhances its comfort quotient. The 905 chair...
